Have to say I've not heard that. My experience has been that they are as reliable as hammers and pull like trains...................and make me use lots of cliches :)

Hi I worked for iveco for 15 years, they are very good engines when there running well, avoid the laters EDC engines, go for an engine from a 59-12, 120 bhp, they rev really well, they do a 4x4 version with a cam chain instead of a belt, these are a bit hard to come by thou, 35-12w was the 4x4 daily version, oh and pump timing is a bitch to do, a DTI gauge is needed, part from that there very good indeed, :cool:
